Paula's Playground

"Even at art school they (the illustration from Dante's inferno) could still send shivers through me. I've never understood why "illustration" is used dismissively in the art world. I mean Dore had to imagine these things. The power comes fromt he invention-the drama and variety of scale. What they really are is a series of Brilliantlly expressed phobias. To dismiss them because they are in a book is ridiculous. It's that stupid old "fine art" snobbery again"
